§ 8845 Land Assessment Reference Maps

Key Takeaways

  • •These maps are only for describing land, nothing else.
  • •They can only be used for taxes and official land stuff mentioned in this law.
  • •You can't use them for anything else, like proving who owns the land.

Example

You want to show where your house is on a map when paying property taxes.

You can use the map to point out your land for taxes, but you can't use it to settle a fight with your neighbor about where the fence should go.
